Lunar Laser Ranging will provide critical data to determine the initial composition of the Moon and the Earth-­Moon system. Specifically, LLR uniquely measures the properties of the lunar core via librations. LUNAR is advancing LLR: APOLLO recovery of Lunokhod 1, thus dramatically improving measurements of librations; Technology development of next generation retroreflectors; New drilling techniques. Dual-­use Low Frequency Radio arrays will constrain: Lunar ionosphere density via riometry; Nano-­size interplanetary dust particles responsible for surface weathering.
